Grilling pellets, Questions, Tips and tricks: Please post here!!

I don't carry insurance for that so I can't recommend it. But, I don't buy pellets for my grill because I'm not going to sue myself.

 

I used easy heats in my pellet grille once and I ain't been right since.
I use the grilling pellets because I like the different flavors but I wouldn't hesitate to use a heating pellet if I know they don't contain binders and they are hardwood.

 

Grills don't use a lot of pellets. One 40lb bag lasts me about a dozen grill sessions.

 

Or demolition debris. Random added flavor depending on the paint.
Or, even better, pressure treated wood with formaldehyde.

I don't know what other people make their pellets from so I don't use random heating pellets in my grill.

 

Hardwood only!
If you were to use wood for grilling/bbq, you would be using only hards...
With heating pellets, who knows what you get. Maybe occasional plastic, moldy wood, ... Not food grade stuff.

I would never cook with any pellets I haven't made myself - even pellets sold for grilling - because I don't know what's in them. But that's just me.

 

I am of the same theory , so far I have only used MWP blended pellets in both my grills as I know that they do not contain anything but WOOD . I do not trust or let me be less harsh I am not sure that these BBQ grilling pellets do not use additives but have confidence because of my time here and Scot that MWP only uses wood and mostly hardwood with the exception of some softwood for binding purposes.
I have had Zero issues using these pellets in either of my grills Recteq 590 and Recteq 380 bullseye which is my workhorse as my wife needs searing on her nightly steaks and this grill cranks up to 800* so the searing grates reach 1000* , so 3 minutes each side and the steaks are cooked to perfection for my honey .

 

Can hear Skeeter in my head "Where are the Pics ?"

For those that are Sam's club members they sell Smokehouse pellets which are a blend for 15 bucks for a 40 lb bag and they are my new favorite pellet. Excellent taste , great heat and very little dust.
